@QueensburyBradford Yep, thats definitely Clare Torry at the start, the voice hsa got the same orgasmic quality that she displayed on Floyds "Great Gig in the Sky"

Indeed it is not the group singing on the record. It is well documented the single was recorded and pressed before the group ever met, they have even admited it.. The record was recorded by session singers Claire Torrey, Kay Garner, Tony Burrows, Russell Stone with the groups manager David Martin on lead vocals. Compere the recorded version with them singing live on Top of the Pops. Totally different vocals.

who is singing the male lead vocal on this? it's not Grant. Or maybe it's one of those typical 70s instances of the original record being performed by session singers before the band was put together...?

I love it! I was only six years old when this was in the charts. It sounds incredibly cheesy now-as the group in general sound and look now. However, I'll take this sort of 70s cheese over rap, grunge, heavy metal and drum and bass, any day!

Two of Guys N Dolls members were David Van Day, and Thereza Bazar, later of Dollar, the greatest pop duo ever. As this record started their careers off, as well as being good in itself, I give it a mega-thumbs up!

I really love this song but there's a version with a nice instrumental bit right at the very end after the song "ends". It comes swooping back with a repeat of the intro and finally fades out - I have it on tape from the radio but I can't track it down anywhere else!
